Learn to bear with patience Gods deferring of his promises and not to let your hopes slip, but still to trust on God and wait for him, who will come in due time though he satisfy not our hasty and over-eager desires. Hold to the promise of God, it shall be fulfilled at length though we be made to tarry somewhat long for it, that we may be better fitted to receive it with thankfulness. The longer a good thing is desired and deferred, the more abundant comfort it yieldeth when it is come.
